Who Is Christ for Us?

In the summer of 1933, Dietrich Bonhoeffer delivered powerful
lectures that insisted Christians encounter Jesus Christ as a living
person today, as well as in history and church life. Formulated in
the face of the new Nazi regime, a decisive moment in Bonhoeffer's
own commitment to the Confessing Church, his words drew attention to
the living Christ as always the humiliated "man for others," the
lodestar of Christian commitment and service. This volume, well
introduced and contextualized by Nessan and Wind, consists in
excerpts from the 1933 lectures—strikingly relevant today—along with
other, contemporary writings from him and about him.

Sunday, March 24 — Third Sunday in Lent

The warnings are plentiful and blunt on the third Sunday in Lent. Lent is a season of repentance. Cut it out or get cut down! The warnings are accompanied by God’s invitation to attentiveness: “Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live.” The landowner’s ultimatum is forestalled by the gardener’s readiness to till the ground one more year. That is good news for all of us. Thanks be to God!
